ESG & Impact

Swendoza is building the water infrastructure standard the Bajío needs next: reliable, measurable, and trusted. In a region where drought volatility meets rapid industrial growth, “ESG” isn’t a slogan—it’s the operating system that determines whether projects earn permits, community support, and long-term uptime. Our commitment for 2026 is simple: deliver water systems that protect aquifers, strengthen communities, and meet the governance expectations of international operators—while proving performance transparently through real data.

Our 2026 ESG Commitments

Environmental Stewardship — Water First, Always

In 2026, Swendoza will operate every project with a “water accountability” baseline:
 

  • Water accounting on every project: metering, logs, and monthly reporting of m³ extracted, delivered, and (where applicable) reused.
     

  • Sustainable source development: hydrogeological assessments, step tests, well performance curves, and extraction planning designed to avoid unmanaged drawdown.
     

  • Efficiency by design: leak prevention, pressure management, variable-frequency drive (VFD) optimization, and irrigation efficiency (for ag clients).
     

  • Reuse-ready infrastructure: when technically feasible, design systems that enable treatment, reuse loops, or reclaimed-water integration so industry can grow without competing with communities.
     

  • Responsible drilling & construction practices: standards for materials, sanitary seals, site restoration, and waste handling to protect groundwater quality.

Social Impact — Community Trust and Workforce Capability

Water projects only last when communities trust them and local teams can maintain them. In 2026, Swendoza will:
 

  • Prioritize a community baseline: every project will include a stakeholder plan that respects community needs and reduces conflict risk.
     

  • Build local capability: training pathways for pump technicians, operators, and maintenance teams so systems stay reliable long after commissioning.
     

  • Safety culture, every day: consistent HSE requirements across employees and vetted operating partners—clear rules, job hazard analysis, and incident learning.
     

  • Prove we understand growers: as owners/operators of a premium grape tomato greenhouse in Abasolo, we design water systems the way growers need them—stable pressure, clean filtration, and uptime discipline—because we rely on it ourselves.

Governance — Audit-Ready, International-Grade Controls

Swendoza is built to earn trust with institutional clients and public stakeholders. In 2026, we will operate with:
 

  • A formal Code of Conduct and anti-corruption policy: clear vendor rules, gifts/entertainment limits, conflict-of-interest controls, and documented approvals.
     

  • Procurement transparency: vetted contractor onboarding, scope documentation, and performance-based oversight (KPIs, QA/QC, HSE compliance).
     

  • Permitting and documentation discipline: organized records designed to be audit-ready—from well logs and water quality tests to O&M reports.
     

  • Client transparency by default: digital project logs, milestone tracking, and performance reporting that clients can rely on internally.

2026 Operating Roadmap

Q1 2026 — Build the ESG Operating System

  • Appoint an ESG/HSE lead and publish Swendoza’s 2026 ESG standards (internal + client-facing).

  • Establish baseline metrics templates for: water, uptime, quality, safety, and community engagement.

  • Implement mandatory onboarding: safety training + ethics/anti-corruption training for staff and operating partners.

  • Launch a standardized reporting package for every project (commissioning checklist + monthly O&M format).
     

Q2 2026 — Deploy Measurement and Transparency at Scale

  • Require metering + water accounting for all new builds and priority O&M contracts.

  • Launch the client transparency experience (dashboard or portal) for project status, logs, and reporting.

  • Introduce a consistent stakeholder process for municipal/community-facing projects (meetings, documentation, feedback channel).
     

Q3 2026 — Prove Performance with Third-Party Credibility

  • Conduct a third-party review of HSE practices and reporting integrity (audit-style assessment).

  • Publish a mid-year performance summary for partners and stakeholders (high-level, data-backed).

  • Expand reuse-ready and efficiency-first designs for industrial clients (where feasible).

     

Q4 2026 — Publish, Standardize, Expand

  • Publish Swendoza’s first ESG & Impact Report (annual): performance metrics, case studies, improvements, and 2027 targets.

  • Codify the “Swendoza Water Playbook” (repeatable designs, QA/QC, O&M standards) to scale across the Bajío and beyond.

  • Set 2027 goals for wider geographic coverage, deeper O&M penetration, and stronger community outcomes.

What We Will Measure and Report

In 2026, we will track and report (internally and, where appropriate, to clients):
 

  • Water uptime (%) and incident response time

  • m³ extracted / delivered / reused (where applicable)

  • Water quality testing cadence and compliance outcomes

  • Non-revenue water / leakage indicators (where measured)

  • Preventative maintenance completion rate (%)

  • Safety performance: incidents, corrective actions, training completion

  • Community engagement: meetings held, issues logged, resolution time

  • Governance controls: vendor vetting completion, documentation completeness, audit findings closed

Why this matter to our partners:

For international manufacturers, data center developers, greenhouse operators, and public stakeholders, ESG is ultimately about risk reduction: fewer shutdowns, fewer conflicts, faster approvals, stronger continuity, and defensible reporting. Swendoza’s goal is to be the operator that makes water projects in the Bajío—and Mexico—more reliable, more transparent, and easier to scale.
